Our Views on the News
Tatworth's Queen?
RUSS WARDELL writes:
It appears that we have a new queen of Tatworth.
June 7th saw the annual Tatworth Steam Rally staged on a beautiful day, spoilt only by the appearance of the newly elected mayor of Chard.
Watching her lording it around the Playing Field as if she were the new queen of Tatworth, in her mayoral chain & with her consort similarly bedecked, I had very great difficulty in remaining civil to her & I told her so.
Tatworth & Forton doesn't have a mayor. The closest we get is the Chairman of the Parish Council & whilst I didn't see her there, I understand she also put in an appearance.
If the mayor of Chard wants to lord it around our village in this fashion, let it be in a properly constituted official visit, with Parish dignitaries also in attendance. She should be relieved that, due to operator finger trouble, the video will not be shown on YouTube.
This follows hard on the news that she acted as teller during the secret ballot to elect the Chairman of the Parish Council - a most inappropriate action given that it took place when she was a candidate in the election for our County Councillor.
Cameron Visits Us in Somerset
EVERY one enjoyed a very pleasant lunch with Conservative Leader David Cameron when he visted Somerset recently. Mary Wardell, Chairman of Tatworth & Forton Branch, is pictured with Cameron.
